Hey Folks,

In case you haven't noticed, I've set up ranks every 50 or so posts. Everyone starts out as a Tracer Smile

I guess when someone gets to their 50th post ... we'll see what the next rank is Smile

Here's an interesting point ....

There is a registered person on the site with the name "velaciela" ... which I would guess comes from the name of the plane in A Place Promised ...

When I was watching the Sub of A Place Promised ... I noticed that the the tanslation was "bella ciela" ... but everyonce in a while you would see the name as "vela ciela". Not sure which is correct.

Congrats Junpei ^-^

Don't mean to criticise but Laz, I've noticed you've mispelt Chobi and Noboru. Take care of spelling names.

I think I might be a Spelling Nazi. o_o

Fixed. Sorry ... that's what I get for typing with one hand Sad

But if you're typing with one hand, then shouldn't you be much slower and somehow more careful?

Velaciela (I keep thinking of Valencia) is, I think, a reference to the installed operating system of the Bella Ciela. If you recall when Hiroki was tying up the last ends of the plane and getting it ready for flight, you can see the word "Velaciela" on the screen. And also "Hello World" if I'm not wrong.

It's funny because I've seen it spelled both ways in the same article Smile

I guess it's one of those great mysteries of the movie Smile

I assume the operating system is called Velaciela and the plane is Bella Ciela? Any of the sources that you have mentioned otherwise? I would like to see it coz i might be wrong Very Happy
